Way back when the world was young and I still attended physics conferences, I got very excited by galactic cosmic rays. There seemed to be more cosmic rays than expected coming from the center of our ...

A computational approach inspired by the growth patterns of a bright yellow slime mold has enabled a team of astronomers and computer scientists at UC Santa Cruz to trace the filaments of the cosmic ...

Concord, Mass.-based SolidWorks Corp., part of the billion-dollar French multinational corporation Dassault Systemes, is best known for its development of 3D mechanical design software — powerful but ...

A new measurement confirms what previous — and highly debated — results had shown: The Universe is expanding faster than predicted by theoretical models, and faster than can be explained by our ...

A new analysis of the South Pole-based telescope's cosmic microwave background observations has all but ruled out several popular models of inflation. Physicists looking for signs of primordial ...

A computational approach inspired by the growth patterns of a bright yellow slime mold has enabled a team of astronomers and computer scientists at UC Santa Cruz to trace the filaments of the cosmic ...

Earthly slime mold models have helped astronomers map the cosmic web that connects galaxies throughout the universe. Slime mold, or Physarum polycephalum, is a single-cell organism that builds complex ...
